     The body of persons in a state or kingdom invested with power

           Without the concurrent consent of all three parts of
           the legislature, no law is, or can be, made. --Sir M.

     Note: The legislature of Great Britain consists of the Lords
           and Commons, with the king or queen, whose sanction is
           necessary to every bill before it becomes a law. The
           legislatures of most of the United States consist of
           two houses or branches; but the sanction or consent of
           the governor is required to give their acts the force
           of law, or a concurrence of two thirds of the two
           houses after he has refused his sanction and assigned
           his objections.
